"Our first priority should be stopping a bad Iran deal that jeopardizes the lives of millions of Americans and millions of our allies," Sen. Cruz said. "There is nothing more important this body can consider, not trade, not the budget. There is nothing more important. The first responsibility of this body is to protect the national security of this country - to protect the lives and safety of men, women, and children across this country - and the President's Iran deal deeply jeopardizes the safety of Americans."

"and the President's Iran deal deeply jeopardizes the safety of Americans."

And, Senator Cruz voted for the Coburn Amendment which "fast tracked" the Iran nuke Treaty.

Now, the deal will be presented to Congress and they can vote up or down, 50% +1.

No Amendments. No Filibuster. And no Article II, Section II, Clause 2.

In other words Senator Cruz and 98 other Senators voted down the 67 vote threshold to approve an international Treaty.

There is ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE between the structure of the Iran deal and the structure of TPA/TPP.

So-called conservatives in the US Senate and House are playing both sides of the same coin.

It's a friggin' disgrace.
